On Sunday, French police discovered the body of a holocaust survivor and French citizen, who became the latest victim of Islamic terror in France. French authorities discovered the body of Mireille Knoll, of blessed memory, severely burned after she was set afire on Friday night by her attacker. Knoll’s body had at least 11 stab wounds, which indicated that she was stabbed before her attacker set her on fire. According to the National Bureau for Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism (BNVCA), the victim had filed complaints with the police against one of her neighbors whom she said threatened to kill her. In what appears to be the trend in Europe – a trend of extreme caution and reluctance to call Muslim attacks against Jews anti-Semitism – the French police did not release many details of the attack and did not refer to any motives behind the murder. The silence from French police authorities comes amid what appears to be strong evidence of anti-Semitism as the motive behind the attack.
In stark contrast to the official response of the French police, French parliamentarian Meyer Habib made the following remark which he posted to Facebook yesterday: “Her name was Mireille Knoll, 85 years old, the human face of a woman, a victim of a barbaric murder. I visited the two sons of Mireille Knoll of blessed memory, and their wives tonight. I met a beautiful family steeped in humanist values, welded by love and destroyed by grief. Look at the bright face of this woman, who was just sweetness and goodness, to imagine the suffering of her children and grandchildren, who reside in Israel and have just arrived in Paris to pay her a last tribute on this eve of Passover.”
Similarities Between Friday’s Attack and the Attack on Sarah Halimi Last April
Habib went on to point out that the attack bared the markings of another anti-Semitic attack against a Jewish woman – the brutal murder of Sarah Halimi, of blessed memory. Sarah Halimi, also a resident of Paris, was a 66-year-old Jewish teacher and physician. Halimi, the mother of three children, was beaten by her Muslim attacker, who recited quotes from the Quran, shouted “Allahu Akbar” and insults at his victim, before throwing her out of the window of her home. The 27-year-old Kobili Traore was arrested the day after the attack, which occurred this past April. Ten months later, the courts finally recognized that anti-Semitism played a role in the nature of the heinous crime.
“Like Sarah Halimi, in this case as well, the French authorities are very careful about linking the murder to an anti-Semitic motive. The family has no doubt about the anti-Semitic background of the incident… For Sarah, it took almost 10 months for the legal authorities to recognize the obvious reality. What about Mireille? The investigation has begun, but I am afraid that after Sarah, Mireille also fell victim to the hatred of Jews which is increasingly seen in the suburbs, against the backdrop of Islamic radicalization, hatred of Israel but also hatred of France,” Habib said. “Like Sarah Halimi, Mireille K knew the suspect, currently in custody: a 35-Year-old Muslim neighbor, a sex offender, whom she had known since he was a child… It is not a question of stigmatizing anyone, but of describing a sad reality and fighting this Islamism which plagues our country.”
Last week, the Israel Security Agency (also known as Shin Bet or Shabak for short), in conjunction with the Israel Police, announced the discovery of an Arab cell that had solicited the help of an employee of the French consulate in Israel to smuggle weapons to Judea and Samaria.
As compared to other countries in the European Union, France has seen a disproportionate amount acts of anti-semitism directed at members of the Jewish community living there. In January, French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said that France was facing a “new form of anti-Semitism” marked by violence, in reference to an assault in a Paris suburb on an 8-year-old boy wearing a kippah (Jewish-religious head covering).
Friday’s Terror Attack at Trèbes, France
This past Friday, Redouane Lakdim, a 26-year-old of Moroccan descent who pledged allegiance to Islamic State, killed 3 people and injured at least 15 people, in a deadly terrorist attack that culminated in the suspect holding shoppers in a French supermarket hostage. During the hostage crisis, a heroic French officer gave himself to the terrorist in exchange for a female hostage whose life he saved. He became one of the murder victims of the terrorist after he was shot by Lakdim. The police stormed the supermarket after they heard shots fired and killed the terrorist.
Our hearts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of Friday’s terrorist attacks. May we work even harder to eradicate this kind of terror from the world, in light of these recent heinous crimes.
Jew and Gentile have the same choice. Receive Christ (Yeshua Ha-Mashiach) or reject Christ. Those who receive Him for the propitiation of their sin are reconciled to God. Those who reject Him for the propitiation of their sin - remain in their sin and are not reconciled to God.
Jesus is spoken of in every book of the Old Testament. Re: http://www.jesus.org/is-jesus-god/old-testament-prophecies/is-jesus-in-every-book-of-the-old-testament.html
Jews who receive Yeshua Ha-Mashiach are not rejecting God or their Jewishness. Jesus is the fulfillment of the law! Will we choose truth over tradition when when they are not in agreement?
While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.” He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” - Jesus speaking in Matthew 12
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one (Jew or Gentile) comes to the Father except through me." - Jesus speaking in John 4.
Anyone who thinks Hitler died in 1945 better do a reality check. Directly or indirectly, the events that are now transpiring are caused by events he set in motion.
I was not speaking in a personal sense, but in a societal sense. The Gentile nations were not given the choice of the kingdom rule promised to Abraham, but have on their own rejected the Jewish among them to bend over backwards to embrace their evil doppelganger Islam.
God promised a kingdom for the people of Israel, and He will deliver exactly that to those people. While Gentiles may have a part in that kingdom, they have ONLY a part.
Do not forget you do not support the root, but the root supports you or you may find yourself discarded as the natural branches of the tree are grafted back in.
I suggest contemplating Romans 10 and 11.
Israel is the chosen people, and those who cling to him.
Yes it is patently obvious that there is no salvation without the Messiah, but God’s plan is far more in depth than just that.
Hense the parallelism between the choices men are given and our response wither Jew or Gentile. This is why my commentary.
I see on rereading my statement why you took it that way, I poorly stated it. I should have made it clear that I was thinking of the choice as given to the Jewish Nation vs the Gentile nations.
Yes, through Messiah Ben Yoseph, you can find salvation and choose to serve God. And yet many await Messiah Ben David.
To me clearly there is only one Messiah, just two visitations. To others that is not clear.
For me, I prefer to take the first bus Home. And yes Jesus is, was, and will be the Messiah for all mankind, for those who choose God’s rule that is. Only you really must read the whole Bible to understand the full context of Revelation.
If you insist on just reading the last chapters in a murder mystery you may understand the what, but miss the whole story of why.
The church is guilty of listening to someone explain the cliff notes then lecturing endlessly on what they have heard.
Do you realize that the New Jerusalem will be an exclusive Jewish subburb?
Sometimes I wonder if this is why Merkel is such a big fan of her diverse guests. The legal and illegal migrants will finish the work her parents were unable to complete.
Way to trivialize it, you must be proud.
Dreadful. RIP.
(Meanwhile, Europeans can sleep well at night knowing native satirists that teach a dog to do a Nazi salute go to prison while real Mohammadan monsters are free to commit murder and mayhem at will)
Trading a nation’s Jews for Muslims is a very bad idea.
And after 1,400 years they’re winning just by walking in to Europe.
I hope some really smart strategists in the US are preparing to deal with several more rabid muslim nations in a few decades. Canada is gone as well.
What I know is that the gates of hell will not prevail against God's church. I know that in Christ's church, there is neither Jew or Gentile - but one new man, i.e., a born-again Christian - or if you prefer, 'Believer' in the redemptive work of of Messiah Yeshua. The Lord's promises to physical Israel are irrevocable and those promises, and life as we know it, will culminate in the 2nd coming of Yeshua.
Do you realize that the New Jerusalem will be an exclusive Jewish suburb?
Scripture, verse ??
The ignorance of politicians is causing time to soon run out. The citizens need to wake up!
It seems you put me in a bit of a quandry. At first I just felt like blowing you off, judging you as someone that really did not care, but just wanting to call a bluff by asking me to do your homework for you. But then I felt that is unfair of me to judge you of what so many trolls use as a front line defense, I don't actually know you, and with a tag like JesusIsLord, well...
The answer you request is no simple one. Unfortunately I am on the road and I am limited to one book to carry for study. This leaves me with no easy way to pre-digest the scriptures for you and regurgitate your answer in a cup of babyfood.
This is meat, not milk. If I were to attempt this in anycase, and I find it quite distasteful contemplating, it would take me about a week of study to write a paper that is suitable for the task.
Yet the spirit prompts me to take you seriously. Why, I cannot tell. So, after sleeping on it I woke up and, Ta-Da, with His help I have my answer, and yours!
The reference book I, and conversely you, need is this:
If you are as serious as your user name indicates, buy this book and read it. I have read it three times, the third with my wife. We read a bit together in the mornings that I can visit her at home. (I read, we share our thoughts, its a couples bible study thingie)
It is the best book on eschatology I have come across, quite enjoyable if you like the end times sort of thing.
After you have read it, you will understand my first point of cliff note regurgitation study as a church practice and the sharing of the baby cup. You will have actually sat down to a full meal of meat. Let the Lord feed you as He will. You will prove yourself by making the effort to lift the meat from the plate to your mouth. If that effort is too much for you, then look up the chapter and verse on sloth where it mentions not to feed the lazy.
If you are serious about your faith, I promise it will be worth your time and money. While I do not agree fully with the classic interpretation of the timeline of the seals, trumpets and bowls, you must at least have the approved mainline teaching under your belt to begin to be able to understand and defend your position on anything that departs from the main line. However the references that describe the end times promises to the Jewish people that you seek are all in there, very well laid out. There are about 20 chapter and verses for you.
The secret of the Bible, is that it is magic. It is unlike any book on earth, it is written by God through the divine inspiration of man. As such, there is many layers. To read it in classic church terms, you just skim the surface. To really understand it you have to read it again, and again until the different pieces and parts begin to come together in your soul. The classic Jewish interpretation is that there are many layers to scripture. To dig down into the layers takes study. You cannot understand the second layer if you do not understand the foundation of the first.
How can I speak with you about the problem of lust and why that affects your spiritual life if you do not first understand the difference between the spirit, soul and body? You must first read of them and conceptualize the three, then and only then do you have the tools to understand the next layer.
Just for reference, in the Jewish Orthodox perspective, all scripture has 70 layers.
Me, as a gentile am lucky to get three deep. It is said that in history only three Rabbi's have been able to teach on all 70 layers in any place in the Tanach. The Rabbi you mention was one of the three.
So... buy the book, AND READ IT, then get back to me and we will have FUN discussing the end times. I have toured the western united states teaching from the pulpit of many churches on the end times. Guess what, it is closer than you think and farther at the same time.
So if your not a Troll, but are serious here is a tip of the hat to a possible new best friend.
